‘This book offers an accessible and coherent guide to academic writing, with a clear and well-structured layout that makes it easy to follow. Although it is primarily aimed at international students, it holds significant value for non-international students as well, since academic writing remains a common weakness and can be the deciding factor between passing and failing. The inclusion of exercises provides useful opportunities to test learning and track progress, and one of the book’s strengths is its flexibility—readers can dip in and out of specific sections according to their immediate needs.’Dr Jacqueline Harley, Former Assistant Professor, Health Systems, University College Dublin (UCD), Ireland.
